<code>
mkdir -p /var/www/htdocs/www.example.com
cd /var/www/htdocs/www.example.com
wget "https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.43/mediawiki-1.43.0.zip"
unzip mediawiki-1.43.0.zip
mv mediawiki-1.43.0 w
chown -R www-data:www-data w
</code>

==Settings==

Visit the wiki site and follow the installation procedure which will conclude with
a download of the LocalSettings.php file.

NB It's recommended to choose English as the installation language.

Edit the settings file and upload to the server and installation is complete.

<code>
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['createaccount'] = false;
wfLoadExtension('Nuke');
</code>

==Language==

If you didn't choose English as the installation language you can change it
after installation.

For example, during installation the site language may have been set to "en-gb" (or something else) and it's
preferable to use the Mediawiki default language of "en".

Add the following to LocalSettings.php
<code>
$wgLanguageCode = "en";
</code>

Now reset the language  to "en".
<code>
echo 'MediaWiki\MediaWikiServices::getInstance()->getMessageCache()->clear()' | php maintenance/run.php eval
php maintenance/run.php userOptions.php language --old en-gb --new en
</code>

To disable language selection (from "en") in user preferences, add the following
to LocalSettings.php
<code>
$wgHiddenPrefs[] = 'language';
</code>
